Half, please try to remember that you only “think” that others are having an easy ride. You only see what they allow you to see but no one knows what goes on behind closed doors and not everyone wears their hearts on their sleeves. Not everyone talks about their tzoris, many people hide it very well. So just because someone is driving a nice car or has nice jewelry that doesn’t mean that Hashem is not testing them with other things. Just because it seems like someone has an easy life now, that doesn’t mean that it was always easy and they never had any struggles, or that Hashem doesn’t have something planned for them in the future.

You do know how that saying goes, the one my own mother used to say all the time, if everyone would put their pekel on the table, each person would take their own pekel back. Hashem doesn’t give anyone more than they can handle, so be happy that you can and will handle whatever it is Hashem has given to you. Don’t be jealous of others because you really don’t know what their pekel is, you only think you know.

How do you think someone who was once very wealthy and was used to have everything they ever wanted feels or deals with hard times and lose everything they have. Is it harder to not have what others have or to have it and lose it?
